Scope

Atmospheric Science focuses on the whole domain of research related to the physics, dynamics, and chemistry of the Earth's atmosphere, including both basic and applied research. We welcome submissions covering the following fields, among others: quantitative and deductive aspects of the physics, dynamics, and chemistry of the atmosphere, applied research related to satellite meteorology, radar meteorology, boundary layer processes, air pollution and its relationship with climate, agricultural and forest meteorology, and applied numerical meteorological models.

This section has no chief editors.

We also welcome original research articles related to the physics of the oceans in terms of the processes operating at their atmospheric boundary, as well as the analysis and prediction of observed atmospheric circulation and physics, including the development of techniques, data assimilation, model validation, and relevant case studies. Papers on numerical and data assimilation techniques applying to the atmosphere are also of interest, as is research describing instrumentation and methodologies used in atmospheric research, including remote sensing instruments, measurements, validation, and data analysis techniques from satellites, aircraft, balloons, surface-based platforms and in situ instruments.

Readers will also have an interest in climate research as related to the atmosphere, including manuscripts concerned with the large-scale variability of the atmosphere and past, present, and projected future changes in the atmospheric climate subsystem as described by climate simulation and prediction, together with the modelling, observation, and forecasting of all water-related atmospheric processes.

All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Atmospheric Science, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.

Articles published in the section Atmospheric Science will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Physics, Environmental Science and Earth Science.
